As of today, centralized torrents are back, in the form of eXeem ( http://www.exeem.com/ ) Developed by the guy who ran Suprnova. There are already 40,000 users (up from 13,000 when I downloaded it just a few hours ago). There aren't many files up yet--about 2,300--but that will change over time.

I didn't look far into downloading exeem because they didn't have a Mac client, but the posters at slashdot.org were commenting about the release today. I can't vouch for the veracity of what they're saying since I didn't look into it myself, but some commenters are noting that exeem uses Cydoor in order to place the ads, and Cydoor, while it may or may not be harmless in this application it is a spyware company as noted by AdAware.

But thanks for the torrent site list! I found more sites than just the one I had been using!

I ran Ad-aware right after installing, and it picked it up. I'll be running it again when I next restart, but I expect that took care of Cydoor. Check back here ( http://www.exlite.net/ ) in a few days for a non-spyware version.

Great list, thanks!

And I've also used had good luck with http://www.torrentspy.com (http://www.torrentspy.com) and http://www.torrentreactor.to (http://www.torrentreactor.to), though the latter seems to be down for "two or three days" right now.

Also - now I have that song in my head.

I've been finding this Torrent Site Status site helpful, although the only sites listed on it that I've used are w2.TVTorrents.tv 'cause the main tvtorrents.tv seems to have been down for a little while now. I've also had no problems finding anything I've been looking for on Lokitorrent, although I was after relatively new/mainstream/popular stuff so I have no idea how useful it'd be for the true addict *g*.
